From 9News.com (COlorado): WWII vet gets his Purple Heart, POW ribbon 60 years later
DENVER - He had to wait more than 60 years, but a local World War II veteran now has his Purple Heart and P.O.W ribbon.

Charles Chavez, who is turning 100 years old in October, received the military awards in a special ceremony.

It was sponsored by The Forgotten Heroes Campaign.

The organization seeks out men and women who have served in combat zones and presents them or their families with the medals and awards earned but never received.
